Good news for early risers, or at least folks who get up before noon: Paxia[1], the restaurant in Denver’s Sunnyside neighborhood whose menu skews towards the cuisine of central Mexico, is launching a weekend brunch service May 3.

The menu will mix traditional favorites, including huevos con chorizo (Paxia’s sausage is housemade) with contemporary dishes. Brunch will be offered Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Brunch at Paxia[2], which is operated by the Leon family, also features molcajete ahogadas, their longstanding medley of stewed tomatoes, garlic, jalapenos, onions, roasted potatoes and veggies, topped with two eggs. Your way, of course. Sides include carne asada, chorizo and shrimp.

Yes, adult beverages are served, including micheladas and hibiscus mimosas.

Paxia sits 4001 Tejon St. on the corner of West 40th Avenue. It’s open Sunday-Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and until midnight Fridays and Saturdays.
